RPG- Superhumans 2: Anarchy (Page 4 of 18)

"We do, do we? Thought about what I've said?" M'Lure said to Flame. She was surprised by the speed of his arrival. She turned off the radio. This was HER car not Flames. She pressed play and a different metal song played. She smiled. (( I mean come on she has to love heavy metal))

Everything seemed somewhat uneventful for the night. Seth with his headphones off and around his neck, had heard some gunshots, but was no fool with any super-delusions.

Let those Andromeda guys handle all that stuff..., he thought to himself. I'm no hero...

He'd considered joining Andromeda when they first started up in Mission City, but figured they'd probably get all  parent-y on him. He didn't need another stiff-necked grown up trying to tell him how to do things.

Then something caught his eye. A  figure, flying towards and then landing through the roof of a black Charger. The windows were dark so he couldn't see much as the car flew past him, Rob Zombie's Dragula blaring.

Interesting... Seth chose to follow, deciding that tonight might not be so much of a bust after all...

"I am going to get right to it, Blur. Where were you the night of the attack on the Statue of Liberty?" Chromium asked shifting his attention from Haze to Blur. He wanted to finish this quickly.

"Where was I?" Blur asked, looking around the plain room, acting as if he didnt are for what was going on.

"Yes, where were you?"

"I was...umm....probably eating some Kung Pow chicken at that time."

"...Meaning you were home?"

"Wouldn't eat out in the street, would I? Damn beggars would try to rip the Lo Mein from my hands."

"Alright Blur, and can you provide me with any concrete evidence to prove that you were home that night and not in New York?"

"My word should be good enough for...youuu." Blur says with a hint of disgust

"It is not. I do not trust you. Nor do I have any reason to at this point. Do you have anything that would undeniably prove your innocence?"

"Well....I have the left over Kung Pow ckicken. You want it?"

"Blur, I am sure that you do not want to be here, doing this right now. Neither do I. If you are innocent, prove it and let us finish this now. I have other matters to attend to."

"Alright, alright. No more small talk I guess." Blur shifts in his seat and now looks Chromium in the face seriously. "I honestly do not have anything to give or show you. All I can tell you is that I was home alone that night and NOT in New York."

"Then how do you expect me to let you out of this building freely, Blur...?" Chromium says without flinching in the slightest.

"I expect you to let me go because I did nothing and you can't keep me here." Blur says, his hands clenching into fists.

Haze's hands in Chromium patch of human skin showing on his arm allows her to speak with him telepathically. 'Tanis...I dont know about this...'.

The door to the questioning room suddenly bursts open. Shift sticks his head in.

"Ehhhhh...we got a situation." He says

"What is it?" Chromium says, not taking his eyes off of Blur.

"We got a massacre in the restaraunt Chez Bon with one electric based and one razor blade throwing super." He says waiting for Chromium's reaction. Chromium thinks for a moment.

"Alright. You (Blur), you will wait in the waiting room for us until we get back." Chromium says

"What?" Blur asks in disgust.

"Be content that I do not hold you in a high security cell. Cog will be in the waiting room watching over you...do not anger him." Chromium says. Cog is a huge, muscular super working in Andromeda. I'll describe his powers later.

The hulking form of Cog (he looks like Guile from Street Fighter) walks into the room and he must duck to not hit his head. He escorts Blur to the waiting room. Haze and Chromium make their way to the roof.

"Is it the third supect?" Haze asks

"Alastor? Possibly. Most likely now that I think of it. We must respond quickly." Chromium responds

"Jack and Chink are probably already there..." Haze and Chromium look at each other as they continue their fast walk through the halls and to the roof. They are thinking the same thing, Chink is not battle tested. And if they are facing two supers who blatantly start killing people then...there is a problem. Jack could hold his own but Chink is another matter.

They reached the roof and Chromium imediatly morphs into the F-22 fighter jet. He is now bale to change into it without having to remove his black cloak. He appears in the pilots seat and Haze jumps into the co-pilot seat. The jet explodes into the sky and leaves a silver streak in its wake.

((Flame is not the human torch....he can fly without burning alive. Uh Mel/Val Shift is back at the base right?

sorry for the lack of 'stuff' I need to run..))

Burnout spent the next couple of seconds speeding around the room, dodging random bolts of lightning (And catching a couple that nicked him) and essentially provided the escort.  He shuttled the innocents that remained alive out of the cafe, through the windows that he had crashed through.  When he had saved as much as he could, he left the cafe, and ran down the street, until he stood on what was essentially a long runway angling to the cafe. 

And then he sprinted as fast as he could, accelerating until he reached speeds of Mach One. And when he was just about to slam into the doors of the cafe, he stopped.  And the sound that he hadoutraced caught up to him with a thunderous boom, blasting the doors off of their hinges, and knocking his friends to the ground with the blast.  They soon rose and once more advanced, although Burnout had to take it easy, as the whole sonic-boom-sprint always drained him.

M'Lure drove Flame way outside the city limits, towards her base of operations.

"I don't want to alarm you Lure, but there is someone following us." Flame told her as they turned down a narrow road that seemingly led to nowhere in particular.

"Yes, but what do you sense from him, malace or curiosity?"

Flame paused for a moment, apparently reading the other's thoughts. " The latter surprisingly. " This caused Flame to quiet as he began thinking again. "It was hard to tell through all the music he had blasting. Do you think he knows who you are?"

"Do you know who I am?" M'Lure replied, retorically. She knew that no one knew who she was, at least not yet. That would change. "I am feeling generous. I have learned something the rest of your friends may not know yet. I watch things, just as Andromedia, but not with the same purpose. They look to aid and help those that are undeserving, weakining them in the process. That has left them open to the "momument attacks" so to say. How many places destroyed before those non supers asked for help? Did they bother to pay more attention, like at the Statue of Liberty? No. Foolish and dependent. Did Andromeda take any inicitive? No, only when they were asked. Alaster is powerful and angry. Filled with hate. He will give Andromeda much trouble, as well those hate filled people. You know what I mean."

Flame, silent was replaying many old memories in his mind. M'Lure could tell. This was what she wanted.

(( If any of this is inconsistant with your characters, jut let me know and I'll edit it to be correct.))

((Um, Green, isn't the cafe under attack, and isn't Alastor slaughtering many innocent people?  Why are you two talking as if you're at a simple little lunch-meeting?  Shouldn't you be defending yourselves against the heroes that just arrived?))

No, he met me at a cafe ( page 3 ) and planned to talk about the meeting of the destruction of the world's most famous resorts/monuments

(( no, Alastor left and I am going to talk to him about the meeting ))

Gerrrx and Alastor leapt up into the sky! A hero fired fire at them, but he dodged. Gerrrx pulled a razor disk out of his coat pocket. He smiled grimly and threw it........

"fine. Let's go get something form the museum. What do you have in mind when we get there?"

"You'll see."

-----------------------------------------------

"Aright Gerrx, you stick with that guy in the coat with fancy toys. I'll handle Flash over there."

As Gerrrx and Jack traded blows, Alastor descended to the gorund to face hsi speedy foe. The hero ran toward him full speed, knocking Alastor in the chin with a right hook faster than he could blink. Another, hit, and another, and another.

"#$%^, man! My dentist is gonna have a field day." Alastor remarked snarkily, growing very angry.

He quickly electrified the air around him, forming a sort of wall of electricity. Sure enough the hero dashed towards him and ran right through the electric mist. His momentum sient him sliding forward, into the wall behind Alastor, who lept up in the air to give him the right of way.

Suddenly, Alastor felt what felt like a brick wall tackle him from behind. It was some other super, covered in thick scales. They fell back to the ground with a loud thud. Alastor wriggled himself free, dashed into the air again, and tossed numerous bolts at her, but the scales seemed to protect her. He wasn't done yet, though. He decided to zoom back into the heroine, this time, grabbing what he assumed was her face.

"I can feel you in there, you know." He said menacingly, beginning to power up his hands. "This is gonna be like cooking in a dutch oven."

Burnout got back up, and shook his head.

"That hurt, you jerk!"

He shook himself off, and sprinted at the electrical dude again, only to get blasted back once more.  When he stood back up, he felt all tingly, and it took longer for him to regain his composure.  He ran at teh guy, dodging to the left just in time to avoid a lightning bolt.  He letloose with a flurry of punches and kicks, driving the electrical guy back further and further.  And just when it looked like he was going to punch the guy's lights out, he was thrown for a loop

He saw something completely different from what he was supposed to be seeing.  For one thing, the electric guy was gone, and so was everything else.  He was standing on a wooden board, staring into a shimmering globe that switched between light and shadow.  He saw two gigantic figures dueling on ash grey plains, one titan composed of pure light, and the other formed of pure shadow.  They wielded huge blades composed of their respective elements and fought seemingly without tire.  Who were they, where were they, and what were they doing?  Nefore he could think further on that, he was brought back to reality with a rude shock...literally.

The electric guy had zapped him again, adn was focusing on the scaly girl.  Now, Burnout's body could take more punishment than normal people, but there was a distinct limit.  And he felt that he had just gone over, as spots appeared before his vision, adn he began to teeter forward, eventually toppling over, hitting his head on a bit of concrete, knocking himself unconscious.  And the blackness was filled with images of fighting titans of light and darkness.
